Neteven aiming to help UK retailers reach French market

European marketplace management provider Neteven has this week announced a number of new partnerships that it says will help UK retailers and brands reach customers in France.

The company, which was founded in 2005 by a group of technologists including former eBay bosses, is putting the processes in place to enable British firms to sell their products on eight eCommerce portals, including those operated by Darty and Boulanger.

Neteven has also integrated the five most recent websites from French marketplace Cdiscount, which are dedicated to the categories of DIY, decoration, baby care, kids and garden items respectively. Meanwhile, a partnership between Neteven and new fashion marketplace Menlook has also been agreed.

Greg Zemor, CEO of Neteven, remarked: "Hundreds of millions of fashion, high-tech and lifestyle products are available on Neteven's platform, sparking a great deal of interest among these new marketplaces.

Business management software provider Brightpearl has signed a collaboration agreement with Alibaba.com, offering its clients access to products listed on one of the largest global online B2B marketplaces.
